“NCIS: LA Star Daniela Ruah Returns to the Director’s Chair for Two Special Episodes!
In an exclusive reveal, Daniela Ruah, known for her role as Kensi Blye in NCIS: LA, is making waves in the NCIS universe once again. Following the conclusion of the beloved spinoff’s 14-season run last May, Ruah is taking on a new challenge by directing two episodes within the NCIS franchise.
First up, Ruah is set to helm an episode of NCIS airing this month, slated for a March premiere. Following that, she’ll be directing an episode of NCIS: Hawai’i in February, scheduled to air in April.
Reflecting on her return to the NCIS set, Ruah expresses her gratitude and excitement, emphasizing that her character, Kensi, was born on NCIS 15 years ago. Stepping behind the camera as a director feels like coming home, she says, as she reunites with familiar faces and cherished colleagues.
Ruah previously made her directorial debut during NCIS: LA’s 12th season, further showcasing her talent and versatility within the industry.
As for the fate of NCIS: LA, the series concluded on May 21, 2023, with Kensi’s character discovering she and Deeks were expecting a baby, while Callen tied the knot with Anna in a spontaneous city hall wedding. With its 14-season run, NCIS: LA joins the ranks as one of the longest-running CBS primetime scripted series, a testament to its enduring popularity.
And with recent revivals of other beloved CBS series like CSI and Criminal Minds, fans can remain hopeful for the future of NCIS: LA, as its legacy continues to thrive in the ever-expanding NCIS universe.”
